Congrats on picking him up. I love this fig as well. Nice Pics!

Awesome pics sab!

Thanks, you two!

Love the last two pics :clap great pose and the last pic shows off the helmet detail perfectly :woo

Thanks, again. You're probably tired of hearing that from me. :lol At first I didn't love the 2nd pic, but now it's probably my favorite. That pose makes his upper body look massive. I quite like the silhouette the pose creates as well.

ehhh Yeah no I don't :lol

The body does look better there and the shoulders also look good, which is hard to get out of this figure :clap

So my mod was a success? :yess: I was so scared doing it. :lol

I'm sad that I forgot to take a before/after picture. I wanted to see if it had made a big difference. I do kind of remember him be a bit more rectangular in shape though. :huh

Nice pictures (especially the first one), but I'm not sure if the shoulders look better or worse than without the mod. There might be better definition, but it's jarring when the stripes are lower on the shoulders than I'm used to. The torso does look better though! :)

Hmmm, the shoulders shouldn't be too much different from the production figure. The fat suit is still in my figure, I just modded it. I'm going to have to find a picture of an unmodified version of him to see what you mean. Maybe it's because I pushed his shoulders down as far as I could for the pic? :dunno

The shoulder stripes should line up with the top two stripes on the chest (in a standard pose), but I'm thinking they may also fall lower in the last two pictures because you have the arms tilted back behind the torso. I don't think I've seen any other poses with the arms down and behind, so that might explain why it looks so jarring (even if it's perfectly normal).

This is the reason. I just moved his arms to a museum type pose and they line up.

They're lined up in other photos, too...

Phew! Thought there might have been something wrong with my figure there for a bit.

Considering it's nigh impossible to lift the stock figure's arms up at all, yes, your mod was a success! Nice pics! :clap
 
It's nice to see some love for this Cap. I'll be the first to admit that it isn't perfect, but it's the best looking Cap.

This Cap has my favorite version of his suit so far. I couldn't pass him up despite the problems. Plus, a plain clothes Rogers was an awesome bonus.
